So somehow blogging star Liz Strauss stumbled upon (whoah, saying that makes me think maybe this happened through StumbleUpon) my baby blog, and blessed it with the stamp of official successfulness.
Whoops, it’s not a stamp. It’s a badge. A badge of achievement.
Man, I feel like a boyscout who just won a patch for general coolness. Would you like to see it? Would you?
Here it is:
SOB stands for Successful and Outstanding Blogger (that’s me, apparently), and that’s pretty trippy.
Also now I’m basically doing all I can to avoid making any jokes about “sob stories”, “sob-baticals”, and those poor SOBs who aren’t “successful, outstanding bloggers”. It’s not really working.
But whatever, the important points here are:
1. My duck and I won a thing! (Admittedly Selma is not as impressed as I am, but then she’s been in full-force diva mode ever since she was interviewed on German television).
2. We’re in really, really good company. Like, The Growing Life. Awesome.
3. Thanks so, so much to Liz Strauss for zeroing in on the Fluent Self blog as something deserving of recognition. Cool beans! My diva duck and I will try to live up to SOB-ishness in all its forms, or at least one of them.
Anyway, you can see the list of fellow SOBs at Liz’s blog. I guess I need to finish up this impromptu speech before my duck and I get yanked off the stage with a giant hook, but thanks to everyone who reads this thing for all your love and support and comments and …
You guys are the best!

You’re pretty darn good yourself, but I guess I already proved that I think that. 😉
What fun it is to read your blog. 🙂
Liz Strausss last blog post..Do Something!
@Liz – Thanks!
This is all very fun, and I’m happy to be getting to know you and a bunch of other great people in this weird, wonderful interconnected way that is the magic of the internets.
@Everyone else – as far as I’m concerned, the thing that makes this blog neat is the people who read it. Don’t know what I did to get such an impressive group of seriously, seriously smart and interesting readers/commenters/people who email me, but wow.
Feeling very lucky/blessed/whatever to have people around that I actually want to be in conversation with. It makes the whole process that much more meaningful. xo
